During the month of February, the Mercy Christian Charity Foundation, or MCCF, hosted several events for students to grow in their education and faith. Please see the report below:
On February 5th, science competitions were held for 8th grade students at the Belovodsk school. Alongside this competition was a chemistry show organized by the students for their junior high peers. They displayed various experiments that delighted the young students. The school hosted a scientific and practical conference on February 8, where seven teams of students from 8th to 11th grade participated. They presented research projects on math, literature, English, computer science, physical education, physics, and biology.
On February 13th, the gym’s youth group was taken to the mountains for a fun retreat where they made a campfire, sang songs, and asked coordinators questions about Faith. The trip strengthened their beliefs and inspired them to continue learning about God.
The orphanage in Kara Balta was visited by students of the local secondary school in order to understand the lifestyle and guidelines within the orphanage. Many of the students had not heard about the orphanage prior to the visit. They held a tea party afterwards where they mingled and continued to get to know each other.
The Bible League Evangelistic Team from Bishkek visited the boarding school in Kemin and presented an interactive play based on the book of Genesis. They taught the students how to distinguish between right and wrong through God’s word. During lunchtime, the students watch Christian cartoons on particular themes so teachers can draw their attention to moral qualities that they can be taught. The children enjoy these cartoons because they are both fun and informative.
Brothers and sisters, please pray for the health of the students and youth in Kyrgyzstan. We hope that their education can help them become great leaders in the future, and we pray that their faith continues to grow. This concludes our program. Please continue to follow our YouTube channel and Instagram. Thank you for watching, and see you next time.
We thank God for the many partner churches that responded to the call of the Great Commission this summer and answered the call from the Tianshan mountain to participate in the 2024 Summer STM Program. 10 teams successfully completed their missions.
On June 7th, IUCA held its 2024 graduation ceremony at the downtown square in Tokmok. This year marked the highest number of graduates in IUCA’s history, with 69 from the university and 82 from HTC. Thank the Lord for these graduates.
Leaders from GLEC and IUCA joined directors from various Central Asia ministries for the Charity Christ Foundation’s annual board meeting in June to discuss education. They shared the developments of the students over the course of the year.
Since primary education is only four years in Kyrgyzstan, ceremonies were held at multiple schools for fourth grade graduates as well as eleventh years completing their secondary education. The students shared what they had learned during their time.
The gym in Evanovka Christian School serves as a gathering place for volleyball and tennis clubs as well as a home for youth fellowship. The one in Kara Balta holds social and spiritual meetings. The Tokmok gym held a table tennis competition.
The Ukrainian people continue to endure terrible hardships, suffering countless losses every day. UETS collaborates with churches, charities, and organizations to participate in ministry and aid. We need your help with humanitarian efforts and missionary work.
The Faithful Children’s Center in Myanmar faces challenges and requires assistance. The house rented by the center has serious hazards due to limited funds during construction. Termites and insects have hollowed out the bamboo structure and rain leaks through the roof.
The Joyful Children’s Home in Myanmar led 30 villagers to faith amidst the turmoil of war. With the leadership of Pastor Dong Shihua, the Home has provided food, shelter, and medical treatment for refugees. The Home has become too crowded and needs more room.
